Default Finally got some online time with BoP

Thanks to Robotic Pope and iEpicxkiller for letting me shoot them down a couple times and I'm gald I could serve as a bullet sponge for a little while.

It was fun to finally fly against some humans, even if I did crash or get shot down 100 times or so.

its all part of the fun.....stick with it and pretty soon your kills will start to come up. its sometimes a better judge of your skill to fly a 1 vs 1 match. in a large dogfight you are often a target of opportunity for anyone above you, or you pass, by or who spawns behind you. its not as bad in team battle because someone may be around to clear your tail and visa versa.

Was pope whoring the P51D? He usually does, and hides away waiting for someone to be picked off. He's quite sneaky.

It was a vicious circle most of the time. Epic killed me, Pope chased Epic, then I would spawn in and chase Pope.

One-on-one with Epic was a little frustrating because it just devolved into us flying at each other head-on most of the time.

A pleasure to fly with you CL, you are better than you think.

The head-on style gameplay is the anoying thing about arcade and realistic, everybody knows where each other is and one on ones will almost allways become a head to head crash fest as the two pilots just home in on the marker. 3 or more and it becomes the circle you describe with long trains of planes linked by bullets.

It also makes my prefered fighting style an awful lot more difficult and mostly ineffective. So no is your answer Foz

Hey Bucket I'd love it if looking into the sun in Sim actualy did make it harder to see a plane. Maybe in BoS flying out of the sun will be a useful tactic?
